Experimental Investigation and the CFD Modeling of a Invelox Type Wind Turbine

The peculiar design confronts the obstacles faced by conventional turbines and removes the barrier of tower-loading turbines. Compared to the standardization of wind energy generation by massive blades attached at the top of the wind tower this model is different by keeping in mind the economic perspective as well as the people and wildlife. The Invelox design perspective captures the wind Omni-directionally and is directed toward the funnel-shaped design leading to the ground level, the impact of the high velocity wind energy generation by striking the blades of the turbine. The objective of this work is to design and modeling of an Invelox turbine and to understand l fluid flow pattern and analysis inside the Invelox where the wind turbines are placed with the standardization. Experimental and Numerical Modeling is done and validated against literature data. Multiple variations are implied to check and optimize the computations and the relation between wind flow direction and inner geometry of the system. The study shows it is possible to orient the flow of wind by capturing, accelerating, and concentrating at a specified optimization level to obtain maximum power output. The results present Invelox as a better way of harnessing wind energy over the other available wind-powered mechanisms used for energy harnessing.
